Yoh Dave, just stopped by to say I'm a fan of your comic. Any plans on getting it translated to other languages?
Keep up the good work, man!

There is a Spanish version, you can find that link at the bottom of the "Webcomics I Like" widget on the right hand column of the page, below the ads. Other languages, if someone wants to they're welcome to contact me about it, but I only speak about 1.2 languages myself.

I got a new wallpaper today!

Like how Maxima seems to relax and enjoy Sydney's glee from flying, letting go of the pressure all Sydney's antics have put her through so far

I like how Maxima seems to like how happy Sydney is from outright flying.

Most of the credit on the clouds goes to the Spread brush in Paint Tool SAI. I'll always need SAI for my clouds and energy beams just for that brush.

Yeah I've just started experimenting with that, but I still do 99% of my coloring in SAI. I need to sit down and try to replicate the 5-6 SAI brushes I use the most over in MS5ex

New wallpaper! DIBS! This is pretty awesome, I love the light trails, and Sydney's just having fun spreading her wings and Maxima is being amused by her antics.

And now I'm noticing that she's using the force field orb along with her flight one, I thought it a little strange that she had a blue light around her, but it didn't click until just now. Is that an actual picture of some countryside for background?

DaveBarrack In reply to GamerKale [2013-09-10 19:50:40 +0000 UTC]

Kind of. I have no experience drawing horizons and landscapes, so I googled some images, then sliced one up, flipped a few slices to make it unrecognizable, then painted over it. Obviously I'd love to have spent the weekend studying Bob Ross landscaping techniques, but when it comes down to it, doing a comic on a schedule means there's a balance between being totally self sufficient and merely efficient. The next page's landscape is totally hand drawn and somewhat less... good. Still, the more I do it, the better I'll get without needing to lean so heavily on photo reference.

Lets not go there. I think Maxima would start hitting people if we assigned her team pony identities!

400 mph? Dang! I wasn't envious of Sydney before, but I sure am now.

Dang it. Didn't notice she had the purple one in her other hand when I read the comic on the website.
Now I've got to check what that one did again...

Aaaah. Forcefield and flight.

Hmm. I'd just assumed that that field around Sid was from the flight orb.
So the flight orb doesn't come with the required secondary powers?
Interesting.
